Baby monitors are specifically designed for monitoring and ensuring the safety of infants. They offer features such as night vision, soothing lullabies, and two-way audio to communicate with the baby.

Security cameras, on the other hand, are intended for general security purposes. They often have a longer range, are weatherproof for outdoor areas, and feature advanced motion detection functions.

Both camera types can be streamed in real-time and controlled via an app, but baby monitors offer additional features specifically tailored to the needs of parents and their babies.
